Become an NGC Exhibitor for a month!

The Friends’ Plinth is a small exhibition showcase located in our reception area, which is supported and developed by the Friends of National Glass Centre.

The Friends of NGC are looking for any Friends, visitors, artists and makers, those with an interest in glass, art or history to put forward an Expression of Interest to display their object or work in the Friends’ Plinth for a month.

The Friends’ Plinth is a blank canvas and the Friends are looking to showcase a wide variety of artworks, objects and ephemera, old and new, related to glass, the history of glass and glassmaking and Sunderland. The Friends want to show a diverse range of items, from student work, to glass in someone’s house, to an object or book. Anyone can apply and every Expression of Interest will be considered.

Items selected will be displayed in Friends’ Plinth for approximately one month and the owners or makers can have the opportunity to give a talk or hold a workshop if they want, supported by NGC staff.

Information

If you have work or an object you would like to display then it must fit the specifications of the plinth which are:

Base: 49cm x 47cm. Height: 42cm.

The plinth is covered by a transparent Perspex box to protect the work. In its current location items in the plinth can be viewed from 3 sides.

NGC will provide a loan agreement for the piece(s) of work/object(s) displayed and will insure items whilst they are on display.

NGC regrets that we are not able to offer any financial support towards artist fees, transport, travel or accommodation. Exhibitors will be responsible for transport to and from NGC and will need to be able to pay for any associated postage/transport costs. NGC cannot cover costs associated with supporting talks or events.
